Object Description

Objects Available for Transfer (May – August 2023)

Like all major museums, we frequently add objects to our collection and occasionally remove objects which are no longer appropriate for the national collection.

The objects listed on the following pages have been approved for transfer from the Science Museum Group Collection. We transfer objects to other museums and public collections if they are:

• Better suited to display or research by another public institution;
• A duplicate of an item we already hold in the collection.

Our aim is that transferred items remain in the public domain and we give priority to accredited museums who wish to acquire these items.

For further information, please visit sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/about-us/collection/managing-the-collection.

The objects listed on the following pages have been approved for transfer and are currently available. The closing date for applications is Monday 7th August 2023. If you would like more information or are interested in acquiring an object from the Transfers list, please email us at Group.Registration@sciencemuseum.ac.uk and include the following information:

• The object number and description
